Those in the Yankees clubhouse are starting to sweat as the team’s wild-card lead over the Athletics is now just one game, and the possibility of a cross-country trip to Oakland for a one-game playoff is becoming more a reality.

The Yankees lost 3-1 to the Twins on Wednesday to fall to 4-6 in their last 10 games. Meanwhile, Oakland is 8-2 in its last 10 after a 10-0 drubbing of the Orioles.

The Yankees have an off-day Thursday before beginning a nine-game homestand Friday, starting with the Blue Jays.

“We have the equipment in that room to be the club we expect to be. Baseball will punch you in the mouth every now and then,’’ Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Thursday (via the New York Post ). “We are clearly facing a little bit of adversity right now and we will be better for it. I expect us to come out Friday ready to turn the page.’’

The Yankees (90-56), who have 16 games left on their regular-season schedule (six against the Red Sox), simply haven’t gotten offensive production since the calendar flipped to September. According to ESPN.com, the Yankees have hit .194 as a team with 67 hits and 95 strikeouts in their 11 games since Sept. 1, going 5-6.
